Penn State men’s soccer goalkeeper Kris Shakes brings a veteran presence to the Nittany Lion defense

Senior goalkeeper Kris Shakes was named Penn State’s Student-Athlete of the Week after playing in two matches to open the 2022 season.

Though Penn State went 0-1-1 in those competitions, Shakes played well, surrendering just one goal in each game and making 14 total saves.

The senior has been a key contributor on the defensive end of the field throughout his first three years in Happy Valley, and has continued his ferocity into the current season.

Shakes has shown high level athleticism, jumping and diving all over the pitch during matches in order to keep the opponents off of the scoreboard.
